    Malik Beasley will become the second NBA player to plead guilty to gambling charges related to performance manipulation in the last two years. Jontay Porter pleaded guilty and admitted to removing himself from two games to help bettors win prop bets on his statistics in 2024. Beasley is scheduled to enter a guilty plea in his case Dec. 9.

    Seeing some confusion on the new NBA betting restrictions on player props. Unders on props will still be offered on the majority of players. No unders on reserves not expected to play at least 12 minutes. You will not be able to include multiple prop unders on the same players on a parlay. No Smith under rebs, Smith under pts, Smith under assists, for example.
